Halo 4 Limited Editions

Microsoft sent over some new details about the upcoming Halo 4 multiplayer mode and it sounds like the new team behind the series, 343 Industries, will be taking a drastically different approach from its predecessor.

The developer is trying to integrate the experience more into the fiction of the universe and they’re doing this by putting the hub of the multiplayer on the UNSC Infinity, the largest starship in the UNSC fleet. It “serves as the center of your Spartan career,” the news release says.

What’s interesting is that it sounds as though the UNSC will be a living and breathing place where players can access competitive and co-operative multiplayer. It ties the single-player campaign and what you do online more tightly.
